Well, about a month of good work on the new 550 XP in bow and rifle season and it has been flawless. Zero problems and the the ride continues to impress me. I have been surfing the forums and though I may have missed something...so far I have yet to find any consistent problems with the XP's. In fact, I haven't heard of any problems yet. Early though....but so far so good.

 

Its always great to hear when someone is really happy with thier choice of quads..

Have fun!

 

Hey cc-rider, have you been into any snow with those terrathons yet? I guess thats about the weakest thing on the XP's so far!
My 850 has been perfect too! (so far)!! No snow around here yet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

No snow yet...but it's snowing pretty good here tonight so I think I'll get the first shot at plowing snow tomorrow....

 

are the sideways engines any cooler running then the regual sportsmans have been. i know they have a biggr radaitor so that must help.

 

I don't really know if they are cooler running or not. My fan does turn on periodically...but no more than the Yamaha Kodiak we have. Also, the tires did alright in the snow today. I'm sure there are better ones out there though.

 

For me the jury is still out on the new XP's but I am glad to see yours is doing good!

Congrats on the new quad!

 

I would soooooo love to have an XP. Maybe next year, but then again my 800 has been serving me very well.

 

Stendori i dont know if the engine runs any cooler but you dont notice any heat at all on your leg like the old 800.
